File Tax Returns
As a permanent resident, you must file income tax
returns and report your income to the Internal Revenue
Service (IRS) and your state, city, or local tax department,
if required. If you do not file income tax returns while
living outside of the U.S. for any length of time, or if you
say that you are a “non-immigrant” on your tax returns,
the U.S. government may decide that you have given up
your permanent resident status.

Register With the Selective Service
If you are a man and you are 18 to 26 years old, you
must register with the Selective Service.When you register,
you tell the government that you are available to serve
in the U.S. Armed
Forces.The United
States does not have
a military draft now.
This means that
permanent residents
and citizens do not
have to serve in the Armed Forces unless they want to.
You can register at a United States post office or on the
Internet.To register for Selective Service on the Internet,
visit the Selective Service website: http://www.sss.gov.
